Рада видеть Ваш новый вкусный рецепт....Спасибо ! 😊😊Glad to see your new delicious recipe....Thank you! 😊😊

I love Italian cold cut and hot sandwiches. ❤ There was a sandwich shop in Isla Vista, California called the New York Hero House. An Italian American family ran the shop during the '80's when I lived there. Their sandwiches were delicious and had colorful names. The Melvin (Sausage), The Marvin (meat ball), The Melvin-Marvin Combo, and Egg Plant Sandwiches were fabulous. They were made on an Italian roll slathered with tomato sauce, provolone cheese, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Sadly, the family retired, and the shop is no longer in business, but what memories that place brings back. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. 👍👍👍👍👍

I had a great Italian sub at White House Subs in Atlantic City. The White House special was amazing and HUGE for around $15. It took us a few days to eat the entire thing. I think though that the Mom & Pop shops in Delaware are the best deal for subs. The bread and ingredients are all fresh & made to order. I could only eat half of my Italian sub from Casapulla’s.

Which most places try to ship the Amoroso rolls in from Philly. But they become to soft on the outside.. they have to ship them in plastic bags.

A list of subs without a single offering from greater Philadelphia????

I grew up in the Philly area, you can make great subs at home, the key is finding the right sub rolls or make them yourself, use genoa salami, proscuitto or another type of deli ham will work, mortadella, coppa and/or soppressata, and provolone for your meats and cheese. If you have access to a bigger variety of imported Italian meats you may find porchetta, its excellent on subs too, its roasted pork with herbs. Put olive oil on the roll, and vinegar if you like, and sprinkle with dried oregano or fresh if you have it and black pepper....salt isn't necessary since the meats are loaded with salt. Then layer the meat and cheese, then spread a layer of minced hot cherry peppers, often labeled "hoagie spread", or if you buy them whole just chop them up....many people use banana peppers and thats fine if you prefer them but traditionally its hot cherry peppers. Then layer thinly sliced onions, tomatoes and finish with shredded lettuce and another sprinkling of dried oregano.

The italian sub is easily one of the best sandwiches ever put to bread. Which I suppose isn't surprising when you consider how many incredible cured meats that Italy is known for

Most outstanding!!!

I've had more than half the subs on this list, and the Milano at The Italian Store is still the best one I have ever had.

I've had a ton of Italian subs throughout the US and surprisingly the best I've had is a small mom and pop shop in Florence AL called Pizza Chef. Their Hot Italian sub is king to any I have ever had. The bread has a crusty outer crunch, yet maintains a very nice soft and airy center. The layer of meats, veggies, and fresh ingredients perfectly compliment the build. It's cheap in comparison to chain restaurants or stores and far more authentic and delicious. If anyone happens to travel through the Shoals in North Alabama, give them a visit. I truly promise you won't be disappointed.
